IntroSo do you all know why I do this? Do you know why I decided to come from behind. Instead of doing like the rest. You want to be different?(plant) ya that’s true. Why is it good about being different. When you are different, people notice you and people will remember you. This is what the malays are lacking. They have the potential ! Because they are creative. Im just showing a simple example of being creative. Doing something different but not wrong. We are too shy, we are too shy for the wrong reason. We have to get up and do it. To voice out. Actually we know we are not doing anything wrong, we are doing something good and god likes it. You all agree right? But we are too shy. Something is not right. So we have to learn to change this. Today’s topic is about malays have the potential to be a great race. I must warn you, this is a speech to inform, you have to know the difference. Im not going to persuade you, im giving you information which we take for granted of our own race as a malay. Theee major issues I am going to discuss here today. We as malays have a lot of potential to be a great race and there is so many points to support that but today, im standing in front here, in front of all of you, to share on the three main points that we are going to ponder on which is, our history as malays, we are a pleasant race and we are creative.

First of, the history of our race. So, who are we? Where do we come from? Many malays generally take for granted where they come from. Some of them, they think that they can speak malay, they look like 60% of the population of Malaysia and walla, they are malays. In their point of view. Then if you want to say that, Indonesia looks like us too. Speak like us too. Don’t you agree? You see, many of us take for granted where we come from. We never really look at our roots. So that’s my job to make you guys understand. The malays are a group of people who live in the malay archipelago. Some of you would be wondering,...

Whether it’s listening to music in your bedroom, reading the news on the train ride to work, checking your email at home or even sitting in a waiting room watching Netflix.

PERSUASIVE SPEECH
SPEECH 4 “TRADITIONAL BOOK vs. ELECTRONIC BOOK (EBOOK)”
THE NEW ERA OF ACQUARING, STORING, AND CARRYING INFORMATION.
General Purpose: To persuade
Specific Purpose: At the end of my speech, the audience will agree that EBook is better than traditional book.
Proposition of fact: EBook is better than Traditional Books.
Organizational Pattern: Cause and Effect
Introduction
According to Wiki Answers an average college student would accessabout 700 books during their 4 years of undergraduate studies. Assuming you want to keep the books for future, let’s do a simple math- if 1 book weighs 2pounds on average, you would require about 1400 pounds of books essentially leading to a personal library in your home. In order to make that happen each of us would be responsible for the destruction of about 6 trees. Now that’s not a big figure, but think about 12000 undergraduates in University of Wyoming alone, with 20.3 million students pursuing higher education in United States as of 2010 consensus. That amounts to chopping down of more than 100 million trees in the next four years! 100m!! I have come to the realization that modern technology can provide us with a much better alternative. Today I’d like to introduce you to- The Electronic Book. Also known as the eBook, it can serve the purpose of text books and much more. I’d explain six of the many reasons relevant to us, students that...

...﻿What is publicspeaking?
Publicspeaking involves talking in front of a group of people, usually with some preparation. It can be in front of people that you know (e.g. at a family celebration) or a crowd of strangers. Unlike a presentation there normally isn’t a lot of opportunity for interaction between the audience and the speaker – the speaker speaks, and the audience (hopefully) listens.
Speeches have different functions. These include being persuasive (e.g. trying to convince the audience to vote for you), informative (e.g. speakingabout the dangers of climate change), entertaining (e.g. a best man’s speech at a wedding) or celebratory (e.g. to introduce the winner of an award). Some speeches may have more than one of these aims.
Why is publicspeaking useful for students?
Most people, at some point in their life, will need to stand up and speak in front of a group of people. Teaching students the necessary skills for doing this will therefore help them to do this more successfully. As a result of the practice, students often report an increase in general confidence as well as a marked sense of achievement. Many students get incredibly nervous the first time they have to do a speech in front of their classmates but with practice the nerves subside and they usually begin to enjoy the whole process.

...Before I started this class, if someone would have asked me if I wanted to give a speech in front of a large audience, I would have laughed in their face. But in reflection of my semester in speech class, I would now jump at the chance to talk in front of an audience. True, it is partially because I enjoy making a fool of myself, but it is in large part due to the fact that talking to people in a structured manner, such as a speech just doesn't scare the bejusus out of me like it did before I enrolled in this class. Why is that? Why does publicspeaking scare people? I feel that many people just don't understand the fundamentals. First off, things go much smoother if your audience finds you credible. Next, your delivery is just as important as your material. A nervous speaker with accurate facts is just as foolish as a smooth-talker spouting nonsense. Properly delivering your message to your audience is the only way to keep the audience's attention, because they are just as much involved in the speech as you are. Getting them to listen to you, and only you is vital; always leave them intrigued and impressed with a quality conclusion.
So what is credibility and why is it important? The Greek word, ethos, was the name used by Aristotle for what modern students of communication refer to as credibility. It is the audience's perception of whether a speaker is qualified to speak on a given topic. The two major factors influencing a speaker's...
